Cyclopropenoid compounds are derived from naturally occurring C19 long chain fatty acids which have been shown to increase mitosis in rat hepatocytes, to elevate serum cholesterol and to enhance atherosclerosis in hens. In order to study the direct effects of sterculi acid triglyceride on smooth

Unsaturated fatty acids can be protected from ruminal hydrogenation, and when fed to lactating ruminants, the constituent acids are incorporated into milk triacylglycerols. By this means, it has been possible to reduce the melting point of milk triglycerides and to make softer butter fat. This

Fatty acids of Sterculia foetida were added to the medium used to maintain the Morris hepatoma 7288C in culture. The effect of this supplement on the lipid composition was examined. Overall, monoene levels were decreased with 18:1 levels reduced by 40%. Saturated fatty acid levels were increased,
